About this listen

HER BOYFRIEND'S A DREAM. HIS FAMILY'S A NIGHTMARE.
Since her mother died of an overdose, kind-hearted Cheryl's always had to look out for herself. Until Dale Moran walks into her life.

Dale and his family have just bought the house across the street, and within a day, he's chased off the violent thugs who've been threatening Cheryl for her ex-boyfriend's debts.

Dale is devastatingly handsome and a fierce protector. It's no wonder Cheryl falls fast and hard. But when Cheryl finally meets the family; when she notices that they go quiet as she enters rooms; when she hears gunshots in the middle of the night on their estate, she has to wonder whether her new romance has taken her out of the frying pan and into the fire...

Cheryl's not sure how wrapped up Dale is in his family's secrets. But she's certain of one thing: The Morans are hiding something. And unfortunately for Cheryl, finding the truth could mean losing her life...

Don't miss out on the thrilling new listen from million-copy-bestselling author Mandasue Heller! Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Jessie Keane and Martina Cole.

Critic reviews

Gripping and unputdownable - Mandasue Heller's best yet. Loved it! (Kimberley Chambers)
Mandasue Heller never disappoints! The Family is a gritty, fast-paced, compelling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. (Roberta Kray)
It was terrifying! I kept thinking I'm so glad my husband's family isn't like this! Great writing with characters you love to hate. A frightening cautionary tale that stays with you after you've finished reading it, Mandasue Heller's at the top of her game. (Heather Atkinson)
A real page-turner. (Kerry Barnes)
Once again Mandasue has delivered. The Family is a gritty, fast-paced story and a must read for any fans of gangland fiction. A real page-turner full of twists and turns that has you rooting for the characters (Kerry Kaya)

A dark, gritty, and unputdownable read! ... I've loved all of her previous books, but Mandasue has outdone herself with The Family. Her storytelling is unmatched with characters so vivid they leap off the page. (D.S. Butler / Dani Oakley)

I love Annie Aldington narrating, she brings it to life! I always will pick a book if she is narrating!
I was enjoying this story (although getting a bit annoyed with the main characters naivety now and then) and I knew it was coming to the end but it got to a nail biting bit and stopped and went into the Epilogue! I was so cross as I felt cheated from the details that should have been part of the conclusion required to finish the story properly! It’s lazy writing in my opinion.

Good story but ending was rushed

WOW!!!!

Total waste of a credit. Narrator has the most boring voice. Absolutely nothing happened til chapter 5, and that was rubbish. I've never heard 'he said/she said' so much in one story. I usually love this author, but wow, what a let down. Slow, boring, and absolute drivel.

the worst book she's ever written
